- constantcrying 1y agoI have clear conflicts of interest with the working class, who work in factories. If I were in a union it should advocate for factory workers working more.

- constantcrying 1y agoThere is no snark here. The union wants my job outsourced so that factory workers can keep theirs. Please tell me why I should have solidarity with them.
- bsnnkv 1y agoYou keep repeating this in various comments throughout this submission- can you share links to the materials of the union(s) you are referring to and point out the relevant sections where they are advocating for this? I am curious to take a read for myself, as I'm sure many other readers are
- constantcrying 1y agoIt's the IGM and of course it isn't their public position, but it is clear that this is what they think and how they behave. They also are extremely influential in my company, as part of the Betriebsrat, and try to steer it in that direction. I recently had to deal with them (as part of the Betriebsrat) and, just as human beings, they seemed to be some of the worst people I ever met.

The oppressed working class, making six figures typing away in a well furnished office. You’re pulling out all the stops. 1. Developers are too privileged to care about the working class 2. But actually, the working class (or at least the unions) are my enemies, and they anecdotally come across as bad people[1] There’s more.[2] > Easily the worst holiday. More hilarious is that it celebrated by those who hate work and working the most. So add that to the eclectic mix: people who celebrate it hate to work. Of course if you think about what it is for two seconds you realize that it has nothing to do with “celebrating work” or the fact that you have to work as a wage laborer, a completely farcical assumption.
